Joseph P. Spampinato, 79, of Newtown Square, Pa., died on Sept. 17, 2013. We will celebrate Joe's life on Saturday, Sept. 28, at 10 a.m. at Central Baptist Church in Wayne, Pa., which he attended for 45 years. Joe was raised in Newark, N.J. and Orange, N.J. He was awarded a B.S. in mechanical engineering in 1956 from Newark College of Engineering. Joe retired from GE Aerospace after 37 years, followed by a decade of private consulting. He loved singing, gardening, and international traveling off the beaten path. Joe sang in a barbershop chorus, quartets, his church choir, and with the White Horse Village Singers. His figs and tomatoes were the pride of his garden. He ran the computer club at White Horse Village, where his expertise was highly valued, and repaired audio aids for the blind at a non-profit. His lifelong passion for social justice spanned civil rights to immigration reform. Son of the late Philip and Josephine Spampinato, he is survived by his wife of 50 years, Patricia; son, Joseph; daughters, Ellen and Michaela (Jason Ronstadt); granddaughter, Neve Elyse; sister, Grace (Ed Charlton); and brother, Phil (Christine).
